The criticism does not seem to be against asteroid mining in general, but against the idea that diamonds in space would make it more viable. Diamonds, especially for industrial use, are not something Earth has a shortage of.

I've heard of the Verge maybe once, now twice. The video reviews are quite nice. I do still think that the layout of the site is a bit loud. But, anyway, thanks for the comment. I'll check it out a bit more.
I guess we'll find out how far Apple is behind Google when it comes to search. I couldn't find the ranking for "The Magazine" because it was too far back. But presumably as it becomes more popular, it should move up in the rankings.

For example, when people search on Google, the pages that get clicked on move up in the rankings, until the most useful page it at the top. Hopefully, as people search for "The Magazine" and then download it it will move up in the rankings. But if it doesn't, it shows you how far behind Apple is. I think Google has done this for almost a decade.
And that's precisely why Apple should be releasing an API to help you :) to reduce the burden of coding something yourself. That's one of the big problems right now. A lot of magazines are using Adobe InDesign to publish their iOS magazine apps, because that's all they know how to use but it's not helping anyone because, instead of making something new, Adobe bolted-on iOS publishing to a tool designed to make paper products. Someone else needs to step in and provide an appropriate tool that publishers (big or small) can use.

I think it's fair to say we all want to see a way good journalism can exist in a digital world. There's no reason these people need lose their jobs if we can crack this problem.

As an aside, care to share a link to your travel magazine? I'd be interested in checking it out. I'm travelling to Japan for the first time tomorrow.

Betting on yourself is ALSO a gamble. Not because of any trait of any particular person, but because things fail sometimes.

IMO, the best approach is to spread your bets. Obviously getting rid of debt is the easiest first step, and 401k plans are less-than-ideal because of the restricted investment options, but you can minimize the gambler's influence by choosing index funds (if you have the option).

The stock market itself is a gamble, of course, but so is just about everything else, so minimizing your exposure to any one risk is the best you can do. I've been in dividend stocks for years and making $500/month or so with minimal exposure.
Yes, it looks like (besides the leftover "ITA" comment in the guide!) that this is simply the ITA guidelines. From Carl's remarks, you can tell that ITA is not a 'normal' Lisp program. Most Lisp programs do not preallocate ~5K of data structures and fail-fast if they exceed that, for example.

I think with Zynga it's the fact that it's hard to feel bad for people who work for Pincus, who laughs as he proudly relates how he got his start by peddling malware. When you work for a known-to-be shady guy in the hopes of getting rich, it makes your plight less sympathetic to most people.
I have a first generation iPad, too. I had some magazine subscriptions on the iPad that I got for free because I was a subscriber of the physical magazine. With the exception of traveling, I preferred the real magazine. The metaphor of how ads are displayed in physical magazines, paging, etc. didn't carry over well for me in the iPad.

While travelling, I thought it would be cool to have access to a library of magazines to peruse. I ended up mostly just watching videos.

I prefer working with companies where I can create value versus in companies where I can't. If your small company thinks their internal one-off AR system is important enough to hire a dev for, that should be worth Serious Money (TM) to the company. If it isn't, tell them "Look, you trust me to deliver wins for the business. This engagement isn't a win for you. If you absolutely need that system worked on, I can recommend someone for it. But let's talk about somewhere where I can make you a couple hundred thousand dollars: ..."

Would you not get paid?

No, of course you get paid. The client bears all execution risk. That's why, when you make them 10 million, they get the vast majority of that 10 million. If clients expect you to shoulder downside risk then they should expect you to capture much of the upside. (Here's words I like: "Well, if you expect me to bear the risk for this project, I want to share equitably in the rewards, too. My sense of equitable is that if I'm responsible for doubling the company's sales I should end up owning half the company. Or, you know, you could just pay my rates.")

Not more than month ago when this project was announced people were praising it. (No wonder, it features a fairly complete subset of C# - it's free and open source, it works and it's great - mad props to the creator keep up the good work!)
Now when the author presents a use case people are throwing rocks. (At least this is my impression by reading some of the comments).
I don't know about you, but I feel bad about it. It's the same story everytime a topic of compiling to JS is brought up. The JS "crowd" steps in with their "wisdom" of why it's a bad idea to do "X" and all they do is criticize...

Show HN: We just raised $1.1M to make group sharing better
Unhappy with what we found on the market, we took a challenge of making a real-time communication tool that organizes information around people and context instead of files and folders.

We built the product and just got $1.1M bucks to take it further ("just" as in "ink is still drying"): http://ow.ly/eoXYE

Link to product: www.titanfile.com

Key concepts:
-Messages and files are organized around people and context
-Real time notifications and updates using WebSockets
-Blind party encryption
-We believe in freemium so it's free for personal use
-Drag and drop interface for files and contacts
-Ability to track who, where, how and when accessed the files
-People don't need another file storage place, so we want to pull files from various services
- Cross platform (iOS, Web & Blackberry)

What is coming soon:
- Integration with share-point & google drive
- Android app
- Support for intelligent search and tagging

Any other suggestions?
Unique naming is easy. For example, he could have called it "D12792B3-4D86-4E84-8B3C-13DBA7593282". Coming up with unique names that are also useful and good is perhaps somewhat harder.
That is sick.

Trigger.io Native Plugins beta
I think it is overall a good move by Facebook, but this change will negatively impact those apps that are using actually useful actions in a responsible way like "Want", "Review" etc. It's sad to see those apps being lumped in with the offenders.

Why would it ever matter if Earth has a shortage of them, or if Earth needs them at all? Since we're already talking about large-scale spaceship operations, consider the diamonds may be useful in space. Perhaps extraordinarily useful.

Earth has no shortage of water, either (if you include salt water). But in space, water is one of the most valuable things imaginable. It's rocket fuel, humans need to drink it, etc. Perhaps diamond would be similar.

The 3GS effectively has better hardware than the iPad 1.

CPU, RAM, etc. are basically the same, but the iPad has to drive about five times as many pixels. Thus it effectively has much less RAM, an underpowered CPU/GPU, etc.

It's an odd and unintuitive situation, but despite being newer than the 3GS, the original iPad is ultimately a less powerful device, when it comes to which apps and OS releases it can support.

I'm sure Apple could support iOS 6 if they wanted to, but I imagine they decided that it wasn't worth the tradeoffs (e.g. poor performance, RAM available to apps, resulting stability or lack thereof).

Obviously Marco's business plan will be to build up anticipation and demand on other platforms and announce them over time. But I don't see how that will work if the content stays invisible. He will probably need to periodically release sample articles on the web to generate buzz, notice he already did this for the Foreword article.
Bold claim, nothing to back it up. And this is an Analytics company.

Some of the features seem interesting but I'm skeptical as to whether people like the picture showing up (I certainly don't when I see it on Quora) or whether having to enter your email address is really a big deal or just a micro-optimisation.
Yeah, people have been using InDesign for ages. Its unrealistic to expect those same people to learn how to code, which means hiring an entirely new team just to design the magazine for another medium. We're lucky in that we only publish for the iPad. Here's the link btw: http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/overnight-buses-magazine/id49...

8 Core Beliefs of Extraordinary Entrepreneurs
The Danger To Privacy Isn’t Corporate Data-Mining Or Governmental Surveillance
My impression (formed from growing up as the annoying kid in the datacenter back when they let annoying kids hang out in the datacenter) is that buying new supercomputer hardware takes takes a lot of money and a really long time. Showing a return for the big investment might take much longer than the life of a typical PC.

Once the a computer is actually in place (especially in a University setting), the interesting work begins, trying to write the best code for it and even improve the existing algorithms.

It seems like there are computer purchases motivated by "this machine will run our existing code faster" and those motivated by "this machine will allow us to write code for it that will prove something faster". A supercomputer seems, almost by definition, the latter.
Good stuff. Always pushing the envelope Mr. Riley.
A phrase from the article virtually leaps out at the reader: "Disaster scenario No. 1: Patent pools accelerate without government opposition."

What? "Government opposition"? What happened to the role of public opposition? When did affairs of state begin to revolve around conflicts between governments and special interests, with the public permanently sidelined as irrelevant?

I'm not objecting to the article having said so, because I think it's true. I'm objecting that the public's role appears to have been eclipsed by the long shadow cast by special interests.
Yeah that looks great.
Five Rules for Using Google Docs for Outlining
Open Source Hardware and the Law
The advent of mobile computing has finally reverted the myth that processor speed solves all known problems. maximizing idle time still matters.
Common misconception. Shouting "fire" in a crowded theatre is not a crime. The crime is causing a panic without cause: if you've got a good cause (for example, if there really is a fire) then you've done nothing wrong. The crime in releasing classified documents is in the breach of trust, not in the leak itself. Libel and slander are types of fraud: the crime comes from the falsehood, not the statements themselves. Free speech should be absolute and sacrosanct, but this doesn't mean it should protect people from breaking the law.

The folks in creepshots and its kin are in fact doing something against the law, and they should be shut down accordingly. This is not a free-speech issue.
[Ask HN] What is a good linksharing solution for the office?

As far as I can tell, this doesn't yet support floods/pours. I know the target market wouldn't use them at the get go, and they are somewhat tricky to implement, but an essential feature IMO.

However, I love the module concept! Perfect way to combine open source hardware designs together!

Computing Texas hold 'em
Can you think of a way of structuring the system to differentiate the good guys from the bad guys?
I don't have a problem paying for content, but I do have a problem with IOS-only. Even though I own an iPad, I like to have access to my reading material in multiple places. I spend a bunch more time looking at my Kindle, for example, and prefer the reading experience there to the iPad.

A decade ago, something like this published in the closed formats of the time (MS Word, maybe) would have met with a huge backlash. Today, it seems like Apple have convinced the market that 'closed' is OK, because it's well-designed and a little bit shiny. I think it's a real step backward, especially given the great open standards that are available (like HTML5) and other tools which give similar control with more accessibility (like PDF).

Whenever I read ember source code, I think of messy and verbose JSP applications.

This is out of control: http://wsld.me/K4zh

Backbone is also verbose and I dislike using it. For this reason, I want to like Ember. But I can't. I can't like any of this crap because it's too taxing on your mind. How many times am I going to write Ember.Router.Extend before I shoot myself in the head?

Sure, you might argue this is a necessity and a limitation of the language. Then change your thinking. I'm convinced that I need to do something about this. I need to take LSD and have some mind altering experience and create a new rails-like movement for browser-side application development that breaks out of this insanity we're all a part of.

Why do we continue to make web development so hard on ourselves? We're creating all these frameworks but none of them are truly changing the way we build products for the better.

Nice touch offering the December rent break. I guess it's just like offering incentives to good employees to generate loyalty and keep them around for the longterm. I am sure there is great worth in offering this small incentive to a tenant you want to keep, even if you could be charging more to a new tenant. Aside from the cost and effort of finding a new tenant, knowing that you have a consistent, paying renter that will take care of your investment is ideal.

My parents have a small, older rental house that they charge less than market rate for, as they have never increased the rent for the current tenant who has lived there for several years. They have had renters trash the place before, and they know getting a little less from a good renter is a preferred scenario.

Actually, I don't think the contents of /r/creepshots are actually legal - or at least, not a large portion of it.

Upskirts, panty shots, and the such are not legally protected, even if they are done in public. As a street photographer myself I'm quite familiar with the difference.

Which is to say, much of the content on /r/creepshots wouldn't pass legal muster, let alone the morality test.
